Payroll, Payments, United States, Stablecoin, Web3

Powering payrolls for thousands across the US, stablecoin payroll provider Zebec is set to flourish in an era where regulation-by-enforcement shifts to pro-innovation clarity.

Policymakers around the world are accelerating to regulate digital assets through landmark legislation like the GENIUS Act in the US and new frameworks emerging from Europe. The current landscape aligns with innovators who have long prioritized compliance, usability and real-world application.

Among them is Zebec Network, a real-time stablecoin payroll provider that is now reinforced by a series of strategic partnerships, positioning it to drive the next chapter of compliant blockchain finance.

Making stablecoin payroll a reality

The GENIUS Act became law in the United States, creating the first federal framework tailored to stablecoins. Days later, the President’s Working Group on Digital Assets emphasized market structure, safe harbors and dollar-backed stablecoins as essential pillars of modern payments policy. Across the Atlantic, the EU’s MiCA regime is taking effect, requiring transparency and full reserve backing for stablecoins like the euro-denominated EURAU.

The policy shift — from regulation-by-enforcement to pro-innovation clarity — creates fertile ground for platforms like Zebec, which were designed from inception to operate in a compliant, enterprise-ready manner.

Zebec demonstrated that money flows could move from batch processes to continuous settlement. Its origins as a Solana-based streaming protocol allowed Web3 employees to receive wages per second in USDC — turning an age-old financial bottleneck into a real-time flow of value. Early use cases spanned payroll, automated savings and treasury management for Web3 companies, cementing Zebec as one of the earliest projects to make stablecoin payroll a reality.

Strength and longevity

Zebec powers payroll for thousands of employees across the United States, giving enterprises the flexibility to meet obligations seamlessly in both fiat and stablecoins. Through strategic investments in established US payroll providers, Zebec has expanded beyond Web3 startups and serves as a large payroll processor for US charter schools via PayBridge, handling more than $300 million in annual volume. The project is bridging the gap between traditional payroll and Web3 finance — delivering features and optionality that legacy systems simply cannot match.

For employees, that means more than just faster payments: Zebec allows to take a portion of wages early and in stablecoins, providing greater financial flexibility, stability and global accessibility. For employers, it means efficiencies, cost savings, compliance, integration and access to new financial rails — all while staying plugged into the familiar HR and payroll tools they already use.

Expanding stablecoin support

Stablecoins are central to Zebec’s product suite, and the company has steadily expanded supported assets for payroll, cards and treasury management. Currently supported stablecoins include:

  • USDC: The foundation of Zebec’s payroll ecosystem, providing compliant, dollar-denominated real-time payroll and spending. It is embedded across Zebec’s card and payroll products through its partnership with Circle.

  • Ondo (USDY): A yield-bearing stablecoin that opens new possibilities for treasury management and payroll optimization, giving employers and employees the option to earn interest while maintaining liquidity.

  • Currency One USD (USD1): Expands Zebec’s portfolio with another regulated US-dollar stablecoin, further diversifying options for enterprises.

  • PayPal (PYUSD): PayPal’s regulated stablecoin expands Zebec’s interoperability with mainstream fintech platforms, reinforcing its mission to connect Web2 and Web3 payroll systems.

  • AllUnity (EURAU): MiCA-compliant euro stablecoin backed by Deutsche Bank’s DWS, Galaxy Digital and Flow Traders, enabling Zebec to serve European employers and multinational workforces.

  • Additional multichain tokens: Zebec also supports assets like ALGO and continues to expand into other tokens, giving employers and employees flexibility in how.

Zebec has also made strategic partnerships with prominent industry players in fintech, blockchain and payroll services, including:

  • Algorand: Support for ALGO payments and native-to-Algorand chain stablecoins expands Zebec’s multichain capability and taps Algorand’s reputation for speed, efficiency and ISO 20022-ready compliance.

  • World Mobile (ZebecNET): By combining World Mobile’s decentralized mobile network with Zebec’s payroll rails, ZebecNET brings both connectivity and payments to underserved regions — solving twin barriers of internet access and financial access.

  • Payro Finance: Integration with Payro, licensed in all 50 US states, fuses real-time payroll with on-demand lending. Employees gain immediate access to advances, while businesses retain compliance and liquidity.

  • Asure (ASURE): Zebec is working with Asure to build a stablecoin payroll tool and bring the power of stablecoins and streaming technology to Asure’s HCM software platform. Asure serves 4 million customers across the US.

Compliance as a competitive edge

Zebec has brought compliance tools in-house by acquiring Gatenox. It also secured SOC 2 certification and is pursuing ISO while aligning operations with both US. and European frameworks. For enterprises and regulators alike, Zebec offers a payroll system that is real-time, auditable and globally scalable.

While regulators are moving from uncertainty to clarity, Zebec offers a solution that combines first-mover advantage in stablecoin payroll with a growing ecosystem of partners, multichain capability and enterprise-grade compliance — meeting the demands of a global workforce in need of faster, more flexible and more transparent payments.
